SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open FileLight
2. Select C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Temp
3. If you have this directory it might get stuck:
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Temp\uisir431.qvf\resources\app\ServiceHub\Services\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Setup.Service\
3. Observe it may get stuck and using one CPU core at 100%

OBSERVED RESULT
It gets stuck. You can still open e.g. the help menu but clicking stop hangs
the app and you have to force close it.

EXPECTED RESULT
It doesn't get stuck. The directory seems to be corrupt and that makes it get
stuck. It would make sense for the app to skip corrupted directories on
Windows.
